Robert Oatley Limited Release Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Share

A more restrained and elegantly structured cabernet than the more opulent 2018. Dense dark chocolate coated blackcurrant with a bay leaf, thyme and subtle edge of black olive. Tannins are firm and slightly grainy while the oak sits neatly into the mix. As it breathes the concentrated fruit reveals more of its virtues as it cascades across the palate before rolling to a very long finish. For me, this is a wine that will definitely benefit from further time in bottle.
